Made in the style "SJ Funky", which Super Junior had been exploring since the release of their third studio album, Sorry, Sorry, "Bonamana" draws influences from American electronica, funk and hip hop, incorporating African rhythms and club house beats into the melody, similar to the song's writer Yoo Young-jin, who later displayed the same style in Super Junior-M's "Super Girl" and Shinee's "Ring Ding Dong".
[2] The song incorporates the Afro tom, an African percussive instrument, and the riff of a Jupiter synth, a sound synthesizer.
The song is about the sincerity of a man who is trying to win a girl's love, with the lyrics having been described as witty and humorous.
An upcoming CM (commercial movie) for the tie-up was filmed in February 2011, with the Japanese lyrics recorded a month after, in March 2011.
In addition, the music video, which consists of videos from the Super Junior 3rd Asia Tour Super Show 3 in Japan held at Yokohama Arena in February, received over 300,000 views on the Japanese UCC website Nikoniko in a day.
A majority of the music video focuses on showing the group's various hip-hop dance formations and techniques.
